freeboard-SK offline charts
I need offline charts in my system. Using Openplotter4 w/ SignalK 2.13.2
I followed the instructions here (https://pysselilivet.blogspot.com/2021/09/signal-k-charts-offline-online.html) but clearly I am missing something.
The chart I downloaded ( OSM-OpenCPN2-Baltic.mbtiles) is in ~/.signalk/charts
I added the path /charts into the charts plugin
but still can't find it in freeboard.
Please help me learn this thing.
Thanks

The charts plugin needs to be restarted to pickup new files.
Disable/ enable will do it
I tried that, still no luck
The first chart path doesn't look right...
If you turn on "Enable Debug" are there any errors being logged by the plugin?
What do you see if your type
http://<your_server_address>:3000/signalk/v2/api/resources/charts in your browser?if you move your chart files to the default folder "~/.signalk/charts" you don't need to set any paths
in case you moved them to a folder (i.e FOLDER_NAME) within the charts folder you need to specify the whole path "/home/pi/.signalk/charts/FOLDER_NAME"
Thanks. I will try that tonight
I had similar issues too, and ended up restarting signalk everytime I upsdated a chart.
Them check with
http://<your_server_address>:3000/signalk/v2/api/resources/charts
As @AdrianP suggested
Test both v1 and v2, and let us know if you se any differences
Thank you all. @AdrianP was right, the first path was incorrect. I had to do few restart/reboots, but it is working fine now.
Works even inside KIP now. That was a handicap of opencpn that now I don't care anymore.
